What have you done to your MSP today?

My car has actually shut completely off once or twice for no apparent reason... even while driving at a slow crawl. I still haven't figured out the problem, but then again... it only happens like once or twice a year. I just chalk it up as vehicle demon possession.



I must have one too then. At idle warming up mine does that every now and then. Sometimes when I drive then park with the car still on, it'll just die too but that only happened twice.
 
since ive installed my hard pipes dual bov/bpv set up.....i have experienced jumpy idle when i come to a stop. about 700 rpm then drops to like 100 then goes back up. anyone with similar problems?

I have the same deal but you can live around this...the problem is reving the engine at idle and letting the rpms drop too fast thats what causes the bogging. Also make sure that your line into the brake booster is as short as possible the longer it is the worse it will be
 
did you ever buy the adjustable one i told you about?

Nah, I decided to live with the turkey and have the car run perfect rather than deal with the hesitation, and idle problems. Also, It was way to expensive heh. I just bought a used SU cold pipe with no bov flange from a member on here.
 
I haven't had any problems with the non adjustable SSQV, I've got it on a line tied into the IM, not the brake booster though. Maybe that makes a difference....
 
where did you find an open port on the IM? or by "tied in" do you mean you put in a T?

most people use the brake booster because its the largest accumulation of vacuum easily available.. but if you're directly to the IM thats just as good or better.

regardless, this shouldn't effect idle when coming off of speed or revving from idle. these are most likely due to the ECU putting fuel in for air that is being vented, resulting in running rich.
 
let see lets see....
Today i Replaced my baulb in my fog light cause it was blown, and got my perrin Furl rail today so hopefuly will put it on this weekend.
 
Bought new tires for auto-x use. If anyone else cares, DiscountTireDirect.com has 10% off any set of four tires or four wheels.
 
just installed the forged motorsports bov today and when build full boost the push in the clutch to stop my rpms drop to about 100 then bounce around???? whats up with that s***?
 
have you checked the seal? is it part of the dual setup or is it in the stock bpv location?
 
How much are you selling it for?

Starting just under $15k. I know I won't get that much for it but I'll start from there. I might not even post it on here, forums aren't the best place to sell vehicles. My old 99 Civic EX went for $7500 to a guy from around my area. On Vadriven (Virginia's main car forum) Civics that go for that much are usually swapped, built and turbo'd. So it all depends on who you're selling too.

thanks.....yeah, its not as bad as it was when i just had the forge and no dual set up.......it is something that doesn't happen all of the time but i just wanted to make sure it wasnt something else.

so u think if i get an afc it will cure the problem?

yeah, this happens. the ecu is reading the different a/f ratios and causing the rough idle.
